We have covered a considerable amount of ground. After beginning with some working definitions of gender and technology and providing an overview of the ethical-political approach to design, we went on to address historical and contemporary studies concerned with the interaction of gender and technology at work. The first step was to look back, collecting and presenting studies of women’s paid employment in different areas of work. This was done with the aim to describe key insights about gender and technology that were gained in these early studies and analyze in what ways they influenced our approach to system design and design justice. A crucial role was, for example, played by findings about invisible work. We also demonstrated how the early studies of women and technology at work helped lay the foundation for related areas that are concerned with design justice in relation to technology at work – such as critical race studies, queer studies, and intersectionality.
